Why People Love America? Pd14/07/06
Hating America while loving all things American is the twenty-first century paradox. Despite the hostility the country has borne since the Iraq war, the universal consumption of American popular culture continues unabated: we still call in at Starbucks for our 8am caffeine kick-start; we still grab a Big Mac ‘to go’ when there’s no time to stop for lunch; and we still crave the next special-effects-packed Hollywood blockbuster to hit the big screen. Sure, we like to criticise White House policies, but there’s no reason why that should hinder our enjoyment of everything else the US has to offer, is there?

Mick Jagger Pd14/07/06
In the forty-two years since The Rolling Stones first appeared in the UK singles chart, Mick Jagger has carved for himself a career and an image that have set him apart as one of the truly great performers of the 20th century. As poutingly athletic on stage as he ever was, he has gouged so deep a wound on pop that no poor-selling solo album, so-so movie, compromising elitism, affected mannerism, or any past or future will allow the man to outlive the legend.

Charlie Watts Pd30/06/06
Often appearing as a mere onlooker who didn't really want to be there, Charlie Watts - 'the silent Stone' - embraced fame reluctantly. Yet, ironically, if any one of the Stones could have made it big without the rest, it surely would have been Watts, who showed as much early promise as an artist as he did a jazz drummer.

On The Road With Ramones
Four scraggly kids from Forest Hills, The Ramones never had a breakthrough hit, and were never truly embraced by the corporate music industry, and yet today they are regarded as the legends that started it all...the original punk prototype. The band fused the aggression of Detroit punk with the bubblegum polish of pop and the bombast of glam to create a sound with attitude, energy and addictive tunes. Their road-dog mentality and fierce live shows garnered them a legion of devoted follows, but simultaneously caused the band to pay a heavy price, both physically and emotionally.
